Welcome to the official State of Oklahoma Sex Offender Registry Web site. The Oklahoma Sex Offender Registry, maintained by the Oklahoma Department of Corrections, provides public information on sex offenders required to register pursuant to the Sex Offenders Registration Act, 57 O.S. 581-590. The Act applies to any person residing, working, or attending school within the state who has been convicted or received any probationary term for a sex crime in the state after November 1, 1989, or has entered the state after November 1, 1989, having previously been convicted or received any probationary term for a sex crime. State law designates certain sex offenders as habitual (two or more sex crime convictions) or aggravated (convicted of the most serious kinds of sex offenses) and these offenders are flagged accordingly on this site. Habitual and aggravated offenders are required to register for their lifetime and all other sex offenders are required to register for ten years following expiration of their sentence.
Failure to register and comply with the Act is a felony offense punishable by up to five years in prison. The Oklahoma Sex Offender Registry provides information to the public and law enforcement in the interest of public safety. The Oklahoma Department of Corrections has not considered or assessed the specific risk of re-offense with regard to any individual prior to his or her inclusion on this web site and has made no determination that any individual included on the web site is currently dangerous. Individuals on the registry are included solely by virtue of their conviction record and state law. The primary purpose of providing this information is to make the information easily available and accessible. In Oklahoma sex offenders are required to register with the Department of Corrections and with their local law enforcement agency.
In addition to checking this site, you should contact your local police department or sheriff's office for information they may have about known offenders in your community. The Oklahoma Department of Corrections updates the registry daily to provide the most complete and accurate information. Through regular correspondence and cooperation with local police departments and sheriff's offices, address and other information is updated to ensure its validity and timeliness. However, information changes quickly and much of the information contained in a registration record has been provided by the registrant. Neither the Oklahoma Department of Corrections nor your local police department or sheriff's office can guarantee the accuracy of this information at all times. Habitual and aggravated sex offenders are required to verify their home address every ninety days, and all other sex offenders have to do so on a semi-annual basis. It is common for offenders to move and fail to notify the Department of Corrections or their local law enforcement agency of their new address. Reliance on any information provided herein is at the user's sole risk. The Oklahoma Department of Corrections shall not be responsible for any use or reliance on information provided, or the lack of any information present that might result in injury or damage of any kind. Sex offender registry information shall not be used to retaliate against the registrants, their families, or their employers in any way. Vandalism, verbal or written threats of harm are illegal and will result in arrest and prosecution.
